the amount of information they store.

sony at ps1 was using cds a whole 650 - 700 - 800 mbs data storage capacity.

nintendo was using cartridges (much less capacity)

Cartridges should have been axed. If the n64 was using cd's it would have buried sony.

they use mini dvds the rest uses proper dvds ( mini dvd capcity 1 gig) dvd 6 gigs.

The less storage means less inside footage etc.

They are good for anti-piracy measures, but they are cutting themselves a bad deal. Because they limit the space games developers have to work with.

The mini dvds aint so bad 1 gig capacity is enough i guess.

I wont go into the issues of them being entertainment centers because nintendo have only ever made true games consoles and you cant take that away from them. Respect where its due and all.
